Even Alec Baldwin will love today’s Post — because his beautiful daughter is launching her modeling career with a sensational photo shoot just for our readers.
In the sizzling four-page spread, 17-year-old Ireland Basinger Baldwin poses exclusively for The Post, sporting a bikini aboard an 80-foot yacht in the Hudson to celebrate her contract with IMG Models.
And she dazzles (pictured) as she lifts her sunglasses in a Marilyn Monroe-like pose.
Her dad — who regularly professes how much he loathes The Post — hasn’t looked quite so pretty in these pages lately.
In February, he allegedly went on a rant against a black Post photographer, hurling slurs such as “crackhead” and “drug dealer.”
His lovely daughter is far more coolheaded.
The 6-foot-2 beauty, whose mom is actress Kim Basinger, told The Post she hopes the exposure propels her into more modeling and, eventually, movie roles.
“I want to do everything the right way,” she said about her career, adding that she’ll soon be featured in Vanity Fair and W.
In today’s feature, she also dishes about her relationship with her father, a new boyfriend and her belly-button piercing.
So, Alec, scoop up lots of copies of today’s Post. After all, you’re a proud pop. You can go back to hating us tomorrow.
